I thought, I was confused by "mushroom grips", but his crotch being labeled "Special Purpose" definitely beats it...
In the movie The Jerk, Steve Martin’s character writes a letter to his mother saying he learned what his “special purpose” was for after having sex for the first time. Presumably, that was the way she explained his penis to him. This must be a reference to that.
...it went drip drip drip
I love when vintage finds are still relevant today.
Finally, some proper representation.
Well this is mildly epic
Special Purpose is almost as rad as Mushroom grips.
Holy shit, that's old.
I wonder who here is old enough to get the reference...
A bike with a stick shifter?
/edit; huh, til

That shifter is amazing.
Now is definitely the time to share one of my least useful bits of random knowledge, which is that (this IS related) Nicole Kidman was in a movie in the early 80s called BMX BANDITS.
what would 10 speed mean here? 2x5?
This looks like the late 80s (or maybe early 90s) and what looks like a freestyle BMX bike with the caption "how to be awesome" - but no mention of Haro or Diamondback? I call bullshit.
Don't BMX bikes typically not have gears?
Hell if I know. Were bikes with gears considered how to be awesome in the 80s or 90s?
No gears, brakes in the middle of the rear triangle, low, sloped back seat and taller handlebars.
Where i live they didn’t have gears, yet they had a gear shifter, just for the cool factor, I guess
And the ball protector 3000
If only a person's belongings were a true representation of their character.
